Wireless communication module, wireless communication apparatus having wireless communication module, and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- an antenna to transmit and/or to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal;
a signal processor to process and to convert the RF signal received from the antenna into a baseband signal;
an antenna connector to interconnect the antenna and the signal processor;
a connection check part to check whether the antenna is connected properly and to output a connection check signal; and
a system part to receive the connection check signal and to execute a predetermined routine according to whether the antenna is connected properly.

Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus including: an antenna; a signal processor which processes and converts a radio frequency (RF) signal received from the antenna into a baseband signal; an antenna connector which interconnects the antenna and the signal processor; a connection check part which checks whether the antenna is connected properly to output a connection check signal; and a system part which receives the connection check signal and executes a predetermined routine according to whether the antenna is connected. Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention provides a wireless communication module capable of accurately detecting connection of an antenna without suffering influence of a test environment.
